Upgrade Jenkins to 2.263.1
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Jenkins has released a new upstream 2.263.1 which we have imported in our thirdparty/ci component.

That is notably required in order to be able to upgrade to the latest Java 11 point release due to:

  • Fix Debian / Ubuntu Java version check for Java 11.0.9.1. (issue 64212, pull 198)

Which are for the releases hosts (the CI ones are still using Java 8 due to the Gearman plugin).

Synchronized with @MoritzMuehlenhoff who is handling the Java 11 and caught the Jenkins compatibility issue.

Turns out our Jenkins servers are using Java 8, notably because of the Gearman plugin. We should eventually switch them to Java 11 but that is a different task really: T269354

The agent on the releases* hosts are using Java 11 and it seems to work with the new Java 11 version \o/.

hashar claimed this task.

I have upgraded the CI Jenkins instances.
